Not Much To Tell

So I'm working on my rut. I am doing better- thanks to all the encouragement and advice from you all. I got a schedule going, sometimes it works, but mostly I've eased up on myself. I'm at a time in my life when life really isn't exciting, but I still need to do stuff. Whatever I'm pregnant, yes it was planned, but I've been having a hard time dealing with the sickness, nausea, mood swings- mostly orneriness- and hunger pangs. That explains my rut. I wanted to do a cute blog a the little baby count down to inform everyone, but I haven't yet so there it is. We're excited and I am saving up the extra pennies- in case it's a girl- to go shopping. I don't find out for nine more weeks what we're having, but keep your fingers crossed that it's a girl. Friday is my first doctors appointment. I will be 10 weeks along then. So I guess there was much to tell, but I'm not changing the title.

Hello! Pregnancy totally explains your rut! That's so exciting though. As you well know, it will get better as time goes on. Have you been as sick as with Hyrum? Let us know if you need any help with anything (we are currently in the process of moving, but in after Aug 13th, I'll be available any time). Until then, I have little bits of time here and there if you wanted to bring the boys over to play if you need a break or just company. I'm so excited for you - love you and let me know if you need anything.

Yeah!! Happy baby news! That's great... and hello don't feel bad about being in a rut because of it. We all know what that is like, and if people say they don't, they are lying or faking it!!! ;) Take some time sista... you know that you are one of the greatest mom's I know, and your kids know that too, so give yourself a little break!! Truly we are so happy for you. Good luck and keep in touch! Love, Angeline
p.s. We are already back in MO. We never get to see everyone we'd like to...plus this trip was pretty packed as you can tell from my incredibly long posts. Hopefully next time we'll get to Cedar; it was definitely something we wanted to do, but ran out of time!! C-ya!

Congrats. I totally know the pregnancy rut (5 pregnancies, 4 babies) the only thing I can offer is that you will feel better. I promise. Taking your pre-natal vitamins usually helps. As soon as your nausea goes away you'll feel like your old self again. I know the wanting a girl, I was teh same way, had 2 boys and wanted a girl. Got a girl, wow is she a handful. You'll love it. I'll keep sending girl positive thoughts your way.

Hooray for you! I understand having the blahs. . . I am the crabbiest, grouchiest, most blah pregnant lady ever (when I am, which I'm not).
I think your boys are so adorable, that having another one would be so great too!

That is so exciting! woohoo! Sad to say I still have the blanket I bought to give to you when Noah was born- SAD! I guess now I can make it up and send it on out when you get closer! Yeah, just when I was getting done wit the 3 stash's of gifts I had to make, now I get to make more! hehe! I am so excited for you, I hope you start feeling better! Nothing is worse than being nauseated all day!

CONGRATULATION! I'm sorry about your rut! I have been feeling that way too! I don't know what causes it! Sometimes I feel that being a stay at home mom is REALLY challenging! I wouldn't trade it for the world...but...it is a HUGE sacrifice that can wear on you! Anyway...we need to do something! Let me know when you feel up to it...or if you feel like you need someone to complain to...or help you when you're sick! I needed lots of help when I was morning sick(if that's a word)...and I hated asking...so know that you can ask me! I UNDERSTAND!

Jenn said...

Congratulations! I hope things get better for you - I hope your morning sickness doesn't last too much longer! Btw, I do Mystery Shopping on the side here and there. I found that I was spending a lot of time doing it, and it wasn't bringing in a lot of money. But if you want to know more, let me know!

Congrats Kristi! I love looking at your blog. I linked it to mine, hope you don't mind. Wish we saw each other more! Your boys need to come play at my house... Gavin is in DESPARATE need of males around here. Call me sometime when you need a break!
